When you are paying rent on a warehouse full of tubes, and you don't even know what types you have, or how many.
I was given these tubes for free. I had to rent a U-Haul and go pick them up in Orlando - 200 Miles away. It took three trips. They were placed in this (and another) warehouse rather quickly and in an unorganized fashion. I have been sorting and catalogging tubes for over 2 years. There are still boxes that I haven't opened. Most are loose tubes in large boxes. Quite a few are broken. Someone had already removed the "audiophile tubes".
Based on the number of tubes in a few boxes and the number of boxes, I have at least 100000 tubes.

When you find a box in the above warehouse that contained 24 833A tubes. You have no socket, but really want to try out these tubes. If you look closely at the picture you will see vise grips and hose clamps used to connect the tube.

Large power tubes generally don't need forced cooling unless in an operating circuit.
